My engagement
I am sure 99% of people that are reading this know that I got engaged! I am so excited, I honest can't believe I am actually engaged I never thought I would actually get married. Allie (My Fiance) wrote a blog about her side of the engagement on her blog (Allies blog ). I also want to share about my side of the engagement.
I knew I wanted to marry Allie with in the first month of us dating. I can't explain it I just knew it, I love being around her, I always want her attention, and she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen (seriously) . My friends on the YWAM base thought I was crazy all I did was spend time with her. Problem was she decided to a School of Biblical Studies which was 9 months. So any thoughts of us getting engaged in that time was suspended. I had to be patient. God taught me so much about patience during that time. Looking back on that whole process I am glad Allie and I had that time because It grounded her more in the word and helped us grow in patients and love for one another especially when we were busy.
During that time Allie had told me I could ask her to marry her anytime after her SBS. I had no intention of waiting a second longer than I had to. So about a month before she graduated I started planning. She picked out a ring and I threw her off saying that I would ask her sometime in the summer, also she really missed her mother alot and I used all of my miles to fly her in because she also told me that she really wanted her mom to be there for the engagement. (I had just about enough miles).
I planned it for the day before she graduated from SBS so she would have no idea that it was coming because she was expecting me to ask her after that and I wanted to surprise because she wanted a complete surprise.
Everything was in place I planned it a week before I bought all the stuff and my greats friends and community here at YWAM honolulu helped me with all the details! (Thanks guys you are the best)
The biggest thing I needed to do was ask her father. It took me about 10 days to get the courage to call him I would get on my phone and go to call him but I would get too nervous. This was Allies biggest requirement for us getting enagaged she is very close to her family and I wanted to honor her and her family. When I called her father my heart was beating out of my chest, problem was he didn't answer and I had to leave the most nervous message ever. I am not sure I made sense. Anyways, her father called me back and I was just as nervous and I asked him. The conversation was awesome and I am so honored and privileged to be apart of her family. They are so fun,loving and welcoming. I am excited for the future!
So the night came and I told Allie that I had to do something with a friend and the girls told her they were going take her out for a drink, so me and few guys went up early and set up. I was a nervous wreck every doubt and fear was running through my mind. All the guys up there were so encouraging. It was a simple set up but it was beautiful.
Everything went according to plan, the girls got her up there. Music was playing. I was so nervous I could barely talk, there she was as beautiful as ever. I asked her to marry me and she said yes!
Then everyone that was there came and celebrated with us. The people that helped us seriously made the night amazing! I am so glad they were apart of it! We had such an amazing time afterward they made me and Allie feel so special! Seriously the best night of my life!
I can't wait to get married!
If you want to know more about it all I would love to tell you more about it danielwhitson@gmail.com
